The first John Prine song I ever learned was " The Great Compromise" , loved it ! But I always felt that other people often did better versions. Bonnie Raitt,s " "Angel FromMontgomery " is a classic as is Bette Midlers "hello In There" ! I once had a neighbour who knew all of JP,s songs and we spent many hours in his back garden sin ging them, but i just found Prines voice grating, is it just me? still,great songwriter !
